Reiss: Vrabel will not be present day 3 of draft

[Joey007]

Odd..

 

[upstater1]

Can it wait until Monday?

 

[ViperGTS]

Can it wait until Monday?

Guess this verifies it. You don't do this unless.....

 

[Joey007]

Can it wait until Monday?

Guess not. I really don’t get the point of this.

I’m also sure some posters will still say this is all only because he’s been through a lot of trauma with the accusations. Keep doing your mental gymnastics

 

[Joey007]

It’s genuinely embarrassing to announce it like this publicly. No other way to sugarcoat it.

You’re trying to make this a PR move by missing day 3 of the draft? Really?

 

[festy1986]

This has officially affected the team. Garbage.

"Vrabel said he will still be in contact with the Patriots on Saturday for the final day of the draft, but he expressed confidence in executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf and vice president of player personnel Ryan Cowden to lead the draft room."

Vrabel, FWIW, doesn't officially have final say over the roster.

Can it wait until Monday?

Some sort of 1 or 2 or 4 week group program where all participants check in on a Saturday?

What a jackass smh

I agree. I was 50/50 but this makes it seem 100%.

This is ridiculous. What is the point of doing it on draft day? Pure PR guarbage.

I did not care that he was cheating, other than it makes him a scumbag, but now it pisses me off that he is making himself a massive distraction to the team by this virtue signaling crap. This will also just make it way worse.

I would not expect a guy named ahmed to get it. There is a chance that he came clean to his wife and decided to show her she is more important that the team. So he did this to prove it. If thats the case, then good for him.

What the **** does my name have to do with anything?

 

[festy1986]

I think it's obvious this is his excuse to avoid the media the next few days.

 

[vicspats]

Get rid of this guy !! Bring back Bill !!! Way less distractions

 

[XLIX]

There’s no counseling that has to be done on Saturday or Sunday that couldn’t wait until Monday or Tuesday. While I believe the counseling is legit, the timing is a maneuver to keep him clear of the bulk of the post-draft media questioning.

Shabbat waits for no man.

Is this the result of a hard conversation with his wife who is at her end with Vrabel, who probably set some sort of ultimatum???... "If you care about our marriage, then you will do this __________""..... after some thought he agreed.
I would like to have him at the Draft on day 3, but if he did not do this a separation/divorce would provide a distraction during the upcoming season...
It essentially comes down to realizing he needs to strengthen his relationships first if he is to be an effective coach... confident he has set up an infrastructure that can meet Pats needs without his presence...

Agreed. This sounds very much like one of those multiple week things where you are very out of pocket by the protocol of the program. Went through this at my work when the boss went to rehab. I suspect this is some kind of serious group counseling.

I feel so good to be among the most virtuous fans on earth. The halo's around us brighten every day. I feel so holy.
